These days the internet is a key part of most people’s lives both young and old alike and is often the first port of call when considering new purchases or when trying to find a local supplier.

Therefore, it is important for your business to have a presence online – even if you do not actively trade through the web, it is still a vital tool to communicate your presence to the local community.

If potential customers cannot find your business when searching for a local supplier, they will most likely go to your competitor down the road or opt to place an order online instead.
